Hi, sorry to hijack the thread, but I also have exactly the same problems.
I previously have done this:

Now, up next is the lounge. However, I would like to do something even more potent, to prevent in particular, impact noise, from coming down to into the room.
I am interested in the solution you posted, ie. putting in new joists that do not make contact with the original joists so that no part of the new ceiling will come in contact with the old joists.
Please can you give a more detailed explanation. My budget can go quite high, so providing the costs arent ridiculous, I might have new joists fitted.
Thanks
